Instead of leasing 23 Leafs for 3 years, they could have BOUGHT 23 sentras and a year or 2 of gas to go in them at fleet prices. I’m glad I don’t pay taxes to the city. After 3 years, they would still own the cars.

Ok… People destroy the bikes, steal thebikes and leave the bikes somewhere where only they can use them. Housotn will be expected to replace any ruined or stolen bikes. Another GREAT leftie loonie idea. The Bike Company LOVES it….

We have traded places with China. Past images used to show “everyone” in china riding bikes. Future images of the US will B “everyone” riding bikes.

Those bikes look to sissyish. That alone would put my brakes on!

True to being an American I’d want my own bike. 1 rider per bike leading to HOB lanes!

I am curious as to who and how the millions of dollars for Ike relief are distributed.It makes no sense to me that kind of money is givin away 3 years after the event. If a person has repaired their damage {like me} can I be reimbersed?

I see that when the Chron editors update their stories, they flush the comments they didn’t like made as a result of the initial story.

The scariest part of this scheme is that the “fleet” will be fueled by Houston’s “largest amount of rechargeable stations in the nation,” according to the mayor’s office. God only knows how much that aspect of this “Green” scheme will cost taxpayers.

My first observation would be that it seems the federal stimulus funds have again been used as a political slush fund for buying votes in the Progressive-controlled cities. Didn’t Obama demand that the funding be passed immediately in 2009, for “shovel-ready” projects in 2009?

The only ones being “stimulated” are the “Green” vendors.

The second observation is that the Mayor waited until after the election, but before the newly elected City Council, to ram through this wasteful scheme. How is it that the COH can lavish $252,000 for “Green” schemes and ignore the ever-increasing number of “rape kits” held in the HPD evidence room?

The final observation, at a time when a major business such as COSTCO have removed the recharge stations in California because no one uses them, taxpayers seemingly will now be subsidizing the largest amount of rechargeable stations in the nation.

Nice job, City Council!! Tell you what, next time you want to waste $350k give me a call. At least I’ll put it to good use. Hell, you could just throw it up in the air like one of those fool rappers and “make it rain” to find a better use for it.

A previous poster had it right. We’re taking China’s place in that our citizenry will be riding the bikes down our streets while they’re driving cars. Happy now, leftists?
